02:43Boys room, down the hall. Third door on your right.
02:54Is there a problem?
02:55Uh, well, I'm finished.
03:08Kid, what are you even doing here?
03:11Uh, taking the test, same as you.
03:13Wait, how old are you?
03:16Uh, 14.
03:18Are you a genius? Like, in a movie?
03:21Well, I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
03:26Wait, what did you get for the, uh, the last question in the math?
03:29About the hotel, do you remember?
03:31Uh, it was A.
03:32Shit, are you sure?
03:37I got C.
03:54Uh, you know, that, that's how they get you.
03:58C is a terrific equation, really.
04:00But, uh, so you're already figuring the room tax into the nightly charge.
04:04So when you multiply everything inside the parentheses...
04:08You end up counting it twice.
04:10Yeah, it's okay, you know, I'm sure, I'm sure you got the rest of them, right?
04:15No.
04:16I forgot how to calculate the fucking tax.
04:19I suck.
04:22Is it weird being you?
04:27And that's an I.
04:28There's an I?
04:29Yeah, sure.
04:30K-U-S-I.
04:32I.
04:32Is it strange we always play with animals I've never heard of and can't spell?
04:37Oh, nice try, Ralph.
04:40Euro step into a reverse layup.
04:42Nothing but neck.
04:43In your dreams, Gobert clearing out for Ellis,
04:46and he's gonna take his man off the dribble,
04:47and you say Euro step into the...
04:49Nice shot, Phenom.
04:51You almost had it,
04:52but that Euro step is looking slick as hell.
04:54Shit, man.
04:55What's wrong?
04:57My Tim Rule's jersey, man, it's ripped.
04:59I'm sure your mom can sell it.
05:00No big deal, man.
05:02Please, can I have your attention?
05:04Ladies and gentlemen,
05:05the sooner we get one more volunteer,
05:07the sooner we can board you all,

16:02I was going to change it to I choose to be crappy.
16:32But they might take away my pen.
16:36Yeah, sometimes they let shit slide, sometimes they don't.
16:39Name's Kalisha.
16:40We'll also respond to Sha.
16:41Uh, what's happening here?
16:44Where are we?
16:45Welcome to the Institute.
16:46Institute of what?
16:49Okay, yeah, I remember how many questions I had my first day.
16:53You know, it's usually just easier...
16:55Are we still in Minneapolis?
17:01No.
17:02Definitely not in Minneapolis anymore, Toto.
17:05We're in Maine.
17:06Well, at least that's what they say.
17:08Who's they?
17:08You really can't stop yourself, can you?
17:13Is that a smart kid thing?
17:16Why would you say that?
17:18Give us a rundown of all the new arrivals.
17:20Your name's Lugellis.
17:21You're from Minneapolis.
17:22You like basketball and chess.
17:25And you're smart.
17:26So, how smart are you?
17:28No, no.
17:29Um, I think the real question is, are you TK or TP?
17:32That's the one thing they never tell us about the newbies.
17:35Yeah, you lost me.
17:37TP is telepathy.
17:39TK is...
17:39Telekinesis.
17:41So, which are you?
17:43Supposedly, no one's both when they get here, but...
17:46I'm thinking TK.
17:49I'm TP.
17:50You read minds?
17:52Always have been able to.
17:54Off and on.
17:58Well, sometimes things move around me.
18:00But that can't be enough to...
18:02To land you here.
18:06Have we...
18:07Have we been kidnapped?
18:10They call it recruited.
18:13Like, by the military?
18:15I don't know.
18:18Do our parents know where we are?
18:19Can we talk to them?
18:21No, actually, apparently our work here is to...
18:24Classified for...
18:26Any contact with the outside.
18:27I mean, well, someone must run this place.
18:31Miss Sigsby.
18:32Except for the medical stuff.
18:34That's Dr. Hendricks.
18:36Medical stuff?
18:36Oh, it's just tests, mostly.
18:38And shots.
18:39Lots of shots.
18:40Um, at least that's what it's like in front half.
18:43We're in front half right now.
18:44Is there a back half?
18:45Yeah.
18:46Where we go when we graduate, front half.
18:48We can see it from the playground.
18:49Not... not here.
18:50But...
18:51I can't really tell you what's going on in there.
18:53No contact.
18:54What does Sigsby and Hendricks say?
18:56They're not real big on answering questions.
18:58When do I get to meet them?
19:00Hard to say.
19:02They usually let the newbies wander a while first.
19:04Hmm.
19:08Why would they do it like that?
19:11No one's ever thought to question that.
19:13If you'd read his file, you'd know.
19:19They want to tell us this place isn't so bad and figure...
19:23We're more likely to accept it coming from another kid.
19:27Predicts he'll notice things others won't.
19:30Goes on at great lengths about his observational and analytical powers.
19:35Why make up our rooms?
19:37You know, if the boy's as smart as you say,
19:44we should be considering him for the PC track.
19:47We're not having this conversation again.
19:49Why can't we...
19:50PC tracks on indefinite hold.
19:53Our main priority is keep the conveyor belt moving.
19:59You've seen the latest target packages.
20:01You know how tight the keyhole's gotten?
20:07Do you have a while here?
20:11What do you want to say?
20:12He's talking to himself.
20:14Yeah.
20:15I bet he does that a lot.
20:28I think he's ready for me.
20:37You know, it's actually not so bad here.
20:38We have video games, movies.
20:40The playground's open until late.
20:43Um, just...
20:44Hey, just make sure you do what they tell you to.
20:48Also, by the way, have you ever had chickenpox?
20:50What?
20:54Kaleesha.
20:58Luke.
20:59Miss Thigsby would like a word with you.
21:02Get changed.
21:0375 years ago, I bet this was state-of-the-art.
21:27It's actually kind of cool.
21:31Retro.
21:31Three spots in town have punch keys for it to mark your progress.
21:37Punch it at each end of Water Street.
21:39First at the station, then at the bank.
21:41Once more at Hopper's Jewelry on Garrish, then back to the station.
21:45Rest of the doors you can mark with chalk.
21:47Just wipe it off on your way back.
21:49It's a 2.3-mile loop.
21:51At Whitlock, used to make six circuits each shift.
21:55So that's what?
21:5814 miles?
21:59I guess I'll be getting my steps in.
22:00Drew and I'll work out a schedule.
22:02We'll get two nights off each week.
22:03Probably Monday, Tuesday.
22:04Sounds usually pretty quiet after the weekend, but we might have to shift you.
22:07If you stick around, that is.
22:10You have some issue with me, Officer Gullickson?
22:14If so, speak now.
22:16Only time will tell.
22:20Thing is, we're a good crew.
22:22We're small, but good.
22:24Here's some guy off the street.
22:26People joke about a night knocker, but it's key for a force as small as ours.
22:30Outs of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
22:34My grandpa used to say that.
22:35Okay.
22:36He was a night knocker.
22:38That's why I applied.
22:41Night knocker is an analog job in a digital age.
22:45Maybe we're just an analog down.
22:48I sure hope so.
22:49Is there a stackhouse?
23:05Sure, can you.
23:06Whatever you want.
23:09What are you doing?
23:10That's the first.
23:11No, no, no.
23:11Can you do that?
23:12No, no, no.
23:12No, no, no.
23:13No, no, no.
23:13No, no, no.
23:14No, no, no.
23:15No, no, no.
23:16No, no, no, no.
23:17No, no, no.
23:18Welcome, Luke.
23:27So, you have met Mr. Stockhouse, Chief of Security, and this is Dr. Hendricks.
23:34He's the architect of the cutting-edge science we do here.
23:37My name is Ms. Sigsby, and I'm...
23:40You're the boss.
23:41I know.
23:42And you know I know because you watched Kalisha tell me.
23:45Okay, so why don't we get to the part where you tell me what's going on here?
23:49Sorry.
23:50You're just cooler than most of the first-dayers we see.
23:54You went through all this trouble to get me here, and now you want me to what?
23:58Cry and scream and beg you to take me home?
24:01Would it do any good?
24:03Not at all.
24:04Please sit.
24:05Thank you, Dr. Hendricks.
24:11I'll take it from here.
24:14Looking forward to working with you.
24:16No.
24:16Sometimes our new arrivals will lash out in their disorientation, so Mr. Stockhouse escorts each of you until we're satisfied that you're not going to hurt anyone, yourself included.
24:41But you're not going to hurt anyone, are you, Lou?
24:47No.
24:48No.
24:55Have a soda.
24:59Okay.
25:01Jellybean.
25:03Why?
25:04So you can see which color I choose?
25:07Get a sense of my personality?
25:09No, because I like jellybeans.
25:12I thought you might like them, too.
25:15You like to analyze, I gather.
25:18A little more I focus on logic, the less I have to think about being kidnapped.
25:23That's not a word we use here.
25:26Right.
25:26Recruited.
25:28And let me be the first to say congratulations.
25:34For?
25:35For being here.
25:36The work you're about to become a part of is, without a doubt, the most important work taking place anywhere on Earth.
25:48You are, without question, about to participate in saving the world.
25:53Okay, I want to talk to my parents now.
25:57As Kalisha told you, that's not possible.
26:01Let me talk to them, and I'll do whatever you want.
26:05This, this isn't a negotiation, Luke.
26:07A boy with your intellect shouldn't have any trouble understanding.
26:11Without our work, the world as we know it would cease to be.
26:22That's bigger than any of us.
26:24It's my responsibility to see that that work gets done.
26:28So, it will get done.
26:31And what exactly is our work?
26:35I'll leave it to your fellow recruits to fill you in on that.
26:40You're more likely to accept it coming from another kid.
26:43Actually, that's another word we try not to use.
26:48You're not kids.
26:49Not here.
26:50There's no bedtime.
26:52There's no chores.
26:53There's no food you're not allowed.
26:56Doing grown-up work?
26:58You should be treated like grown-ups.
27:00But at the same time, bear in mind, this is not your home.
27:05This is not your school.
27:08Here, break a rule, there's a grown-up consequence.
27:14And what are those rules?
27:16Glad you asked.
27:17The main rule is follow any order given from a staff member without question or delay.
27:25You'll be given a number of injections.
27:28You'll be given a number of tests.
27:31You will comply with all of them.
27:34You won't, with maybe a few exceptions, find them excessively unpleasant.
27:42Your mental and physical condition will be monitored regularly.
27:46Regularly.
27:47And then when you come to the end of your service, we'll wipe your memory, send you home.
27:52Home?
27:54To my parents?
27:55Yes, of course.
27:59Are they alive?
28:00Yes, of course they're alive.
28:02We're not monsters.
28:05Do they know where I am?
28:08Generally.
28:08At any rate, I think you'll find your time here will pass quite quickly, Luke.
28:18And when you leave us and when you wake up in your own bed one morning, none of this will
28:27have happened.
28:28The only sad part is you won't have the memory of the great privilege of having been asked
28:35to serve, not just your country, but humanity.
28:40How many, how many people does each kid here know?
28:44School, families, you can't just wipe all their memories?
28:46School, families, you'll be surprised what we can do.
28:57Pleasure meeting you.
29:02My room, it's not supposed to make me feel comfortable, right?
29:07You're just supposed to let me know.
29:11You're trying to make me comfortable.
29:14I know.
29:15This feels like a very dark time for you, Luke.
29:21But if you'll simply do as you're told, before you know it, be back out in the sunshine.
29:29Maybe hitting some baskets with Ralph.
29:37That's very dark, you know.
29:39You're right here.
29:47I'm just kidding.
29:54I have no idea.
29:56I'm just kidding.
29:56I've never had a dream.
29:58I have no idea.
29:58I'm just kidding.
30:00I have no idea.
30:04I've never had that dream.
30:05I've never had to have a dream.
30:07I'm telling you, Patriots, my Outsider Army, I'm giving you the strength of it.
30:26They don't want you to know, because they don't think you can handle the truth.
30:32But we can handle it.
30:34Must be Ed Whitlock's replacement. I heard a rumor they found one.
30:40Tim Jameson. New night knocker.
30:43Any to do, old weirdo.
30:47Hey, remind me, who was this guy again?
30:51You don't know George Allman. Still got your blinders on, huh?
30:56Do you have any fillings?
30:59Sorry?
31:00Open your mouth.
31:01Because...
31:03That's how they listen.
31:09Ah.
31:10Ah.
31:11Ah, good. Some of them are smart enough to get you gold.
31:14Well, that was the army and I'm sure they just got whatever was cheapest.
31:19You know, they might have remembered where porcelain comes from.
31:25You, uh...
31:27You think that the Chinese government is bugging our mouths?
31:32Kidding, right?
31:36Am I?
31:38Sport?
31:42My mom used to call me sport.
31:44I know.
31:45After the fella from that stage show with all the black folks in it.
31:49Pork and... Pork and beans or something.
31:53Pork and beans.
31:54How do you... know that?
31:59Hmm.
32:00Do yourself a favor.
32:03Start listening to George's gems.
32:06Cause there are things going on every day in this world
32:11that you would not fucking believe.
32:15It looks like I just barely caught you.
32:16I thought I had 48 hours of liberty.
32:18It looks like I just barely caught you.
32:33I thought I had 48 hours of liberty.
32:36Just touching base.
32:38You got the dossier for the next recruit?
32:39Yeah.
32:40The kid's got a chaotic family situation.
32:41Might complicate the snatch.
32:43Makes the cover story easier.
32:44As soon as you're back we'll go through scenarios.
32:47Make sure you know the dossier.
32:48If you're coming from the next recruit,
32:50if you want to get a new job,
32:53you'll be able to get a new job.
32:54Can you get a new job?
32:55If you want to get a new job,
32:56I'll get a new job.
32:57Okay.
32:58If you want to get a new job,
33:00can you get a new job?
33:02Do you know the dossier?
33:04I always do.
33:10The Ellis snap...
33:12There's no good looking backward.
33:14It went how it went.
33:16It only went wrong because they made us rush it.
33:22As soon as the MIT news broke,
33:24the Ellis kid was going to get a bunch of publicity.
33:28The decision was made.
33:30I wish those bastards would come with us on an op sometime.
33:32See the consequences of their decisions.
33:40Sorry, sir.
34:00I'm going to go.
34:02I'm sorry.
34:04I'm not going to go.
34:06I'm not going to go.
34:08I'm going to go.
34:10I don't know.
34:40Hey, we got a bogey. Copy that.
35:08How can we help you folks?
35:10I don't know. I guess we took the wrong exit off of 161, and by the time we realized that we're a mile deep in these woods, we've got no cell service.
35:19Yeah, these pines, they play hell with your signal.
35:21What's over there?
35:26Infectious disease lab.
35:31Nasty stuff.
35:32Hmm.
35:36So, straight back the way you came.
35:38Okay.
35:39Left on the fire road.
35:41Okay, right at the port.
35:43Just put you right back on the left.
35:44Left, then right.
35:45Let's go, Will.
35:47Yeah, we're going.
35:48Thanks.
35:49Sure thing.
35:49Folks, take care.
35:51Miss Zigsby explain about the tokens?
36:10No.
36:11You'd think she'd remember as many intakes as she's done.
36:18Tokens are a reward for being a good cooperator.
36:22Let you get treats from the vending machines.
36:24Hey, pretty lady.
36:33How's it going?
36:34Just fine.
36:39How about you, Luke?
36:40Justin okay?
36:46Silent treatment, huh?
36:48It's fine for now.
36:50Here's the thing.
36:51Treat us right, we'll treat you right.
36:52Go along to get along.
36:56Words of wisdom, Luke, my boy.
36:58Words of wisdom.
37:00Come on in.
37:07There won't be a minute.
37:11Have a seat, champ.
37:21Hmm.
37:22Up on up, I said.
37:25What are you going to do?
37:26Tattoo me?
37:29Gosh, no.
37:30I'm just going to trip your earlobe.
37:31No biggie.
37:32All our guests get them.
37:33It's like getting a piercing.
37:35I'm not a guest.
37:36I'm a prisoner.
37:36And you're not putting anything in my ear.
37:40I am, though.
37:42Look, it's just a little pinch.
37:43Be over quick.
37:44Maureen will give you a bunch of tokens.
37:46What do you say?
37:47No.
37:47Are you sure?
37:59Yeah.
37:59I bet that smarts a lot more than a little pinch in the ear, huh?
38:23Do you want another?
38:26No.
38:28You ready to get in the chair?
38:30Now, are you going to behave?
38:44Or do we need the straps?
38:45It's a cave.
38:46All right, champ.
39:01You're all done for now.
39:03Grab you some gauze for that ear in case it bleeds.
39:06Put some ice on it, and you have yourself a great rest of the day.
39:10Good evening.
39:24Hey there.
39:26Tim, meet the Delia.
39:29Oh.
39:29She likes to greet all our guests.
39:32Delia?
39:36How's night knocking?
39:36Yeah.
39:38It's only been one night, but so far so good.
39:40You say so.
39:41Me, I wouldn't be caught dead working for Chief Snowflake's piss-in outfit.
39:45Even if it meant getting to stare at Officer Gullickson's ass all day.
39:50She is in peace.
39:54You have a good night, Mr. Hudson.
39:58What, did I offend you?
40:00Hi.
40:02You, uh, going my way?
40:04Ray Supply Run.
40:06Georgia's Drive Time Show is having a marathon this weekend.
40:10I can't risk losing comms.
40:13Well, you want me to pull this thing to your place?
40:15Just got to stop by the station, start my shift.
40:17Might make it slow going for you, but...
40:19I can clear my schedule.
40:22Okay, then.
40:23Let's do it.
40:25Don't think I didn't see you talking to him.
40:28Mr. Hollister?
40:30If I'm living in this hotel, why wouldn't I talk to him?
40:32That man, where's my reception?
40:44Hey.
40:46Hey.
40:47Mystery Lady Returns.
40:49I told you.
40:51Sometimes I have to go out of town unexpectedly.
40:58Hey, Alex.
40:59Got it.
41:03Now, um...
41:05Where did we leave things off last time?
41:07You were starting to tell me about the place you work.
41:10Oh, that's funny.
41:11I don't remember that.
41:13Maybe you were pretty drunk.
41:15Me?
41:16Never.
41:16Seriously, why can't you talk about it?
41:19We've been over this.
41:20I just can't.
41:22Especially not with you.
41:23You knew I was a journalist when we met.
41:26It's not like I was undercover.
41:28Yeah, but I didn't approach you because I wanted to talk.
41:32There you go.
41:33Oh, thanks.
41:34No?
41:36No.
41:37You know, everyone in Denison has a theory about what you're really doing out there in the woods.
41:42Casey at the gas station, he says that you guys inherited the alien spacecraft after Area 51 was compromised.
41:51That's why drones aren't allowed to fly over.
41:53Alien spacecraft, huh?
41:56Then again, June at the diner, she says you're running a flavor lab.
42:02Like for snack foods.
42:03And all the security is to safeguard the secret recipe.
42:08Herbs and spices.
42:11What do you say?
42:12I say a girl hot as you.
42:15Don't give a fuck what she does for work.
42:33I feel like I don't think that's true.
42:37Oh, thank God.
42:38Oh, I don't think that's true.
42:43I would never.
42:48But I might be.
42:58Hey.
42:58I'm here to bring you to dinner.
43:00Oh, you got your jewelry.
43:01Yeah, I guess I probably should have warned you about that.
43:05Well, I don't think it would have made much of a difference.
43:08But, you know, besides I was having a lot of dumb-tongue meal at one time.
43:13Okay, come on.
43:14Let's go.
43:16Everyone's excited to meet you.
43:17Nikki included.
43:18Even if he is too cool to show it.
43:25Uh, I got a little sidetracked last time before we finished discussing how you...
43:31Read minds.
43:32Right.
43:33How does it work?
43:34Um, it's actually not as cool as people think it is.
43:38I can tell you your grandmother's name, but only if you put it in the front of your mind.
43:42I can't go deep.
43:43Rebecca.
43:55I mean, that's still pretty fucking cool.
43:57All right.
44:03It's not true love or anything, so I don't get that idea.
44:06Might not even be a favor, but it could be.
44:10Three days after I landed here, they put me into a quarantine for almost two weeks.
44:13No shots for dogs.
44:14What the hell does that mean?
44:20Point is, maybe I'm still contagious.
44:23You might catch it, and it'll keep you in front half a little longer.
44:27But I thought back half was a good thing, you know, one step closer to home.
44:32It is.
44:33Supposedly.
44:33Give me some.
44:35Seriously.
44:36It's better off your plate.
44:37George!
44:38No!
44:38Hey, guys.
44:40Luke, right?
44:41George Isles.
44:42That child's already told you all about me.
44:44I'm like a god to it.
44:46You're such a loser.
44:47I'll grab you something.
44:48I'm Iris.
44:49Glad to meet you, both.
44:51How do you like it here so far?
44:53Great time or the greatest time?
44:56Yo, I don't even know what here is.
44:59Showing the club on that.
45:01Reminds me.
45:02You're TK, right?
45:03Night or pause?
45:05I don't.
45:06Oh, positive means that we can do it when we want.
45:09At least most of the time.
45:10Oh, well, then I'm Nick, then.
45:12Sure.
45:13Yeah, I can't even wiggle my ears.
45:15Yes, TK, Nick.
45:16Wait till I tell Nicky.
45:17They've been betting on what the new kids will be.
45:19George always takes TK, Nick.
45:21Because it's the most common pedestrian, if you will.
45:24No offense, Luke.
45:24But TK, pause.
45:26That's...
45:27That's rarefied here.
45:36George, knock it off.
46:02Clean it up.
46:07Holy shit.
46:08Sadly, that just about takes us to the limit of my ability.
46:12Doesn't exactly make me an X-Man.
46:14Sad truth is TK's not good for much.
46:17No.
46:17Hendrix says the most an Institute kids ever lifted was like eight pounds.
46:21I wish it were possible to develop a really powerful TK.
46:27We could float ourselves the fuck out of here.
46:28Yeah.
46:30Iris has chosen to adopt Nicky's attitude about all this.
46:34She didn't choose anything.
46:35She's just open to the truth.
46:37Speak of the devil.
46:39Georgie here, on the other hand, he's our agent Mulder.
46:42He wants to leave.
46:46Believe what?
46:47Oh, that everything's gonna be all right!
46:49Nicky, do you remember what we just talked about?
46:52Right, right.
46:52Just got a little carried away, greeting the new arrival.
46:55Making him feel at home.
46:57What happened to your hand?
47:01I fell.
47:08Uh, Luke, meet Nicky.
47:13Luke Ellis.
47:14Yeah, I know.
47:16They always tell us about the new kids, offer rewards, we'll show you the ropes.
47:22Not for me, though.
47:23Nicky Willem won't trade us home for beads and blankets.
47:27Speaking of, who's got tokes?
47:30You know, if you weren't such a dick, you could earn some.
47:33Sure.
47:34Instead of always mooching.
47:36Come on, cooperate.
47:37Me, never.
47:38Rebel without a mustache.
47:40Yeah, you know, it's actually kind of gross to boycott something by having your friends buy it for you.
47:46I'm not boycotting, just not cooperating.
47:50Come on, who's holding?
47:52I have two for Maureen, for not crying this morning after the shots for dance.
47:59Come on.
48:00I know you've got something.
48:04Whatever.
48:05Kiss ass.
48:06Come on, Ellis, let's get you something.
48:10Fun sticks.
48:14You play chess, Ellis?
48:20These three suck.
48:21Diana Gibson could at least give me a half-assed game, but she went to back half three days ago.
48:27Yeah?
48:28Yeah, I play, but I've got to tell you about it.
48:31Lock in the mood.
48:32Come on.
48:33It'll be like that.
48:34Come on.
48:37Oh.
48:38Why, thank you.
48:40All yours.
48:53You know, I thought those were real cigarettes for a second.
48:56Yeah, but I thought this place couldn't get any weirder.
49:01Can always get weirder.
49:04Jesus.
49:05Is this Pleasure Island?
49:08From Pinocchio, right?
49:10Good one.
49:11So they get you.
49:12Off you all the grown-up shit we've been denied for so long.
49:16Smokes, booze.
49:17Cracker jacks.
49:18Ho-hos.
49:20What?
49:21What?
49:22Your mom smelled hippie and only gave us the herb chips.
49:24Well, there's booze?
49:26Yeah, you know, wine coolers mostly, you know, kid stuff.
49:29There's even a sign that says, please drink responsibly.
49:32How old are the kids here?
49:35Bobby Washington was almost 19.
49:38Oldest we know if he went to back half a week ago.
49:42Youngest?
49:44Ten.
49:45I think.
49:45Look, do yourself a favor and don't let Nikki pull you into this bullshit, okay?
50:01You see the dots, say so.
50:02If you don't, say that.
50:06They know when we lie.
50:07What's wrong?
50:22What if I had a story that was bigger than you can imagine?
50:27You'd be surprised what I can imagine.
50:30I'm serious.
50:30If you got a story like that, a story that could change everything, what would you do?
50:40I think you have an inflated sense of my career to this point.
50:45Truth is, I'm still just a stringer for a local daily.
50:50Circulation under 10,000.
50:51Negligible online presence.
50:52Well, who then?
50:54Might you know people?
50:58I guess I might.
51:00What if I've spent my whole life on the wrong path?
51:11What if this is my one shot at redemption and even that's not enough?
51:16I just...
51:18Do you think there's a hell?
51:25I know there is.
51:30You're right, she was unreliable.
51:43Was.
51:45It's taken care of.
51:46I need a cleaning crew.
51:47Do you have my location?
51:51I have you.
51:52Sit tight.
51:53Thanks.
52:17Thanks.
52:17What if it is?
52:42Bye.
52:43So, let's go.
53:13So, let's go.
53:43Let's go.
53:44Let's go.
53:45Let's go.
53:46Let's go.
53:47Let's go.
53:48Let's go.
53:49Let's go.
53:50Not for chess, anyway.
53:51Yeah, I'm still not in the mood.
53:52Come on.
53:53What else have we got to do?
53:54Let's go.
53:55Come on.
53:56What else have we got to do?
53:57Let's go.
53:58Let's go.
53:59Let's go.
54:00Let's go.
54:01Let's go.
54:02Let's go.
54:03Let's go.
54:04Let's go.
54:05Let's go.
54:06Let's go.
54:07Let's go.
54:08Let's go.
54:09Let's go.
54:10Let's go.
54:11Let's go.
54:12Let's go.
54:13Let's go.
54:14Let's go.
54:15Let's go.
54:16Let's go.
54:17Let's go.
54:18Let's go.
54:20Let's go.
54:21Let's go.
54:22A werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
54:25Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
54:29He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Force
54:34Gonna get a big dish of beef chow men
54:39Ah-hoo, werewolves in London
54:44Ah-hoo, ah-hoo
54:51Werewolves in London
54:53Ah-hoo
54:56You hear him howling around your kitchen door
55:02You better not let him in
55:06Little old lady got mutilated late last night
55:11Werewolves in London again
55:15Ah-hoo, werewolves in London
55:21Ah-hoo, ah-hoo
55:26Yahoo, werewolves in London
55:30Ah-hoo
55:33Is it a checkmate?
55:48What was that, five moves?
55:50Six.
55:50And it's, uh, smothered, mate.
55:53It only works if your opponent waits too long to move the pieces next to their king.
55:58Yeah, next time you will
56:00Plus I was playing hurt
56:02Right, from your fall
56:04How smart are you?
56:07I don't know
56:11I need to decide, are you the kid I've been waiting for?
56:16Smart enough to know we can't stay in this place
56:18Or are you like the others
56:21Can't handle the truth so they talk themselves into a fairy tale
56:25Now we get our memories, wipes
56:27Go on with our lives like all this never happened
56:29Even Kalisha's still trying to believe in it
56:32Everyone but you
56:35You grew up in group homes and foster care
56:39You learn not to believe in stories
56:43You also learn
56:46That nobody's coming to the rescue
56:49I mean, if anybody knew about this place
56:56It would already be shut down
57:00Yeah, we want out
57:02We get ourselves out
57:03So smart kid
57:07How do we get the fuck out of here?
57:19How do we get the fuck out of here?
57:49How do we get the fuck out of here?
